The flag of Grenada is a red-bordered quartered gyronny of yellow and green. Centred in both the upper and lower portions of the red border are three yellow five-pointed stars in a row. Near the centre of the green triangle nearest the hoist is a yellow and red stylized nutmeg. In the centre of the flag is a small emblem, a yellow five-pointed star with a circumscribed red disc.
